I have a 16x9 project in FCP with "squeezed" DV footage, timeline settings at DV preset 720x480 with anamorphic checkbox checked. All good here.
In Motion, settings are preset NTSC-DV, 720x480. Pixel Aspect Ratio, NTSC DI/DV Anamorphic.
Am using stills in the Motion project that have been converted in PhotoShop from 720x534 to 720x480.
The problem: importing into FCP, the Motion project does not fill out horizontally all the way to the edges, and the stills are distorted (squished vertically).
Have tried a variety of settings in Motion, and things are not right.
My workaround: scale the x setting in Motion -66%, and export project as QT movie with 16x9 checkbox checked in "advanced". Import into FCP and all is good.
However the workaround seems a bit convoluted. Am I missing something?
Let me know if I'm giving you all enough info.
Thanks
